Simple Emacs Spreadsheet

Simple Emacs Spreadsheet

[Pete Axon]

Does anyone know where I can get the Simple Emacs Spreadsheet? The
home page is (according to http://emacswiki.org) here
http://home.comcast.net/~jyavner/ses but that has been giving a 404
for some time.

Any ideas?

I don't know about the Simple Emacs Spreadsheet, but I use the table
functions in org-mode to great effect for spreadsheet functions. (My
needs are simple: adding up rows and columns, making percentages, making
the odd mathematical adjustment -- nothing too serious. So, the tables
in org-mode may be too simple for what you need.)

I forgot to mention that in fact, you can do pretty much anything
mathematical in the tables that Emacs itself can do, so the tables are
actually a very powerful set of features (I just use them very simply).

I'm pretty sure it's included with Emacs nowadays, in the lisp
subdirectory...it definitely is with mine (Emacs 23), but I think it may
be in 22 as well. `(require 'ses)'--minus the quotes, of course--should,
I think, be sufficient if your Emacs is up-to-date...good luck.

It's in the Emacs-22.1 distribution.
If you have Emacs-22 (or more recent), just open a file with a ".ses"
extension and you have it.

Its already part of emacs 22. Maybe upgrade to emacs 22?
